FELCO 5 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Good Performance Basic Model

The FELCO 5 is the essential entry-point into the world of professional Swiss pruning. Designed for those who appreciate functional simplicity, this basic model provides the raw cutting power FELCO is known for without unnecessary frills. Its sturdy, all-steel construction makes it an incredibly durable choice for heavy-duty garden tasks, offering a heavy-weight feel that many users prefer for stability and control.

Best For Home gardeners and hobbyists looking for an affordable, heavy-duty "forever tool" that prioritizes ruggedness and straightforward performance.

Key Features

• Simplified Ergonomics: Features a streamlined handle design that focuses on a secure, balanced grip, ideal for those who prefer a more traditional tool silhouette.

• Large Cutting Capacity: Despite being the "basic" model, it maintains a generous 25mm cutting diameter, making it just as capable as its high-end counterparts for thick branches.

• Maintenance-Friendly: In keeping with the brand's sustainable ethos, the FELCO 5 is easily adjustable and fully maintainable, ensuring a lifetime of service with simple routine care.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
